Teacher’s Activity Students Activity

A. PRIMILINARY ACTIVITIES
Dear Lord, Help us to be good and guide as always, help us to do
. Prayer we should. Bless my classmates, teacher and all. Amen

. Greetings Good morning Teacher! Good morning classmates

Good morning class!

. Checking of attendance None, Teacher

Who is the absent today?

B. REVIEW Yes Teacher.

Class can you still remember our lesson yesterday?

Now, to test if you really remember. I have something to
show you. I have here pictures I want you to identify what is
this and its stage. Yes Teacher.

Do you understand?
( The teacher show a picture of the life cycle of a butterfly)

( The teacher Will ask each stage of life cycle.)

“So what life cycle is that?”

“life cycle of a butterfly sir”

“ Excellent”

C.ENGAGE/ MOTIVATION

Class, Have you seen a seed?

Yes Teacher!

What kind of seeds do you know? Can you give examples?

( The teacher will call one by one to give examples)

 (Pupils will respond)
(The teacher will post a picture of a seed)

“ Here are some example of seeds.”

What do you notice about those seed?” (Pupils will respond)

“Yes! Very Good!”

D. EXPLORE/ACTIVITY

Now, I have here a short story I want you to listen

carefully and you will answer few questions later.”

(The teacher will present “The Tiny seed “by Eric Carle via
video presentation)

“ Did you enjoy the story?” “Yes teacher”

“ Are you ready to answer some questions?” “Yes sir”

Discussion Questions:

- Who is the main character in the story? “ The Tiny seed.”

- What blows the seeds? “Air”

 - Did they fell on the ground during autumn? “No, sir”

- Why do you think Tiny seed is the last one who grew? ( Pupils will respond)

“Do you have any idea what our lesson will be?” “About SEED sir”

“Yes! Very Good.”

“Today, we are going to learn the different parts of a SEED.”

“Here’s a drawing of a seed. You are going to identify what are

its parts as we discuss our lesson.

PARTS OF A SEED

. RADICLE- is a part of a seed that grows into new plant

. Hypocotyl- its lower end, forms the first root of the

seeding.

. Epicotyl- its upper end ,becomes the first stem.

Any one can put a label on where the Hypocotyl is? Pupils will go infront and label out the Hypocotyl and the
Epicotyl

How about the Epicotyl?

. cotyledons- serve for the digestion and storage of food.

“Any one can put label o cotyledon?” Pupils will raise their hands and the selected will go infront)

“Don’t be confused about cotyledons and

endosperm .cotyledons serve for digestion while endosperm is
the food storage which is digested and absorbed by the
cotyledons.”

Yes, sir
“Do you understand ?”

E. EXPLIAN
“ Another part of the seed is the seed coat.”

Can anyone please read what seed coat is and put a label on it
in illustration?”

.SEED COAT – It helps protect the embryo.

Okay. Thank you. So you see, the SEED COAT is the outer part
of seed.

A seed only develops its part only when it undergoes a process

called SEED GENIRATION

(The teacher will post the definition of GERMINATION)

( He will let the pupils read it loud )

“GERMINATION is a process by which a plant grows from a

“GERMINATION is a process by which plant grows from a Seed.”
seed.

There are several factors that influence germination. First is

the seed it should be carefully chosen to make sure it is
germinating. Then the soil and temperature must be
favorable.”

“I have here short video clip for you to see how a seed develop
into a plant. A mung bean in particular. I want you to observe
very carefully how a seed turns into a plant.

(The teacher will play the video and do the discussion while
the video is playing.

“Before germination the seed begins to absorb water. Without

water seed cannot germinate. then the embryo begins to
grow.
“The radicle or embryonic roots come out first.

As you can see the HYPOCOTYL begins to grew.

The hypocotyl grows longer, it begins straighten out.

The growing hypocotyl pulls the COTYLEDONS and EPICOTYL

out of the soil.

Eventually epicotyls develop into the shoot and leaves of a

seeding.

“So that’s it. With proper nutrients you will be able to grow
your plant well.”

(Pupils will raised their hands)

F. ELABORATE/ VALUE

“Who among you had bald hair during their infancy? Or When
you were still a baby?

“Okay there are few. But try to imagine seeds are just like a
baby with no hair. As time goes by it develops and when it is
properly nourished it will grow beautiful. Just like the seed
when you take good care of, it will grow into a beautiful
plant.”

Yes, sir

Did you understand the lesson?” None sir

Are there any questions?

G. EVALUATE

Instructions:

Group Activity

I have here example of seeds in its germination in each jar. Identify which part of the seed has
already formed I it. Arrange it according to the stages. Write your answer on a sheet of paper.
Choose one representative to discuss what stage of the seed is in the jar. Each stage should have
representative.

F. ASSIGNMENT

Answer the following in your notebook.

1. List down the factors that affect seed germination and growth.

2. Where a flowering does plants start?

3. How does the seed grow into plant?
